ISPs don't want faster internet if it means they need to invest. ISPs want to maximize their profit, not the speed of their internets.

- smsm42 9y agoIsn't that business model of the ISP - you invest in infrastructure and then collect profits from it, selling subscriptions? The existence of ISPs is the proof that they do want to invest - otherwise who did the investments? > ISPs want to maximize their profit, not the speed of their internets. How this is contradictory? If you have faster network, you can have more people subscribing and paying more money.
- speedz 9y agoThe key here is the need to invest more. The ISPs would rather milk the existing investment. It is also not a given that people would pay enough more for a faster network.
